The Lunar Series I and Lunar Series II collections, from the Perth Mint, are without question some of the most popular coins around the world. The Lunar Series II concluded with the 12 release, the Year of the Pig design. The 2019 Australian Lunar Pig 1 oz Silver Coin is the 12th design released in the Lunar Series II and is the 2nd Year of the Pig design released by the Perth Mint. Each of the coins contains 1 troy oz of .9999 pure silver, with a face value of $1. These coins are very collectible, by both the investor and the collector of these charming coins.
Highlights:
Your 2019 Australian Lunar Pig 1 oz Silver Coin has a near-perfect certification from the NGC. Coins that have a Mint State 69 certification have their full and original mint luster. The coins have a maximum of two minor detracting flaws. To qualify for this grade level, flaws must be limited to minuscule contact marks or hairlines and be found only outside the primary focal points of the coin.
The Lunar Series II collection concluded with the release of the 2019 Year of the Pig design. The 2019 Australian Lunar Pig 1 oz Silver Coin is just one of two in the collection that has a mintage cap. Just 300,000 of these coins were minted, with even fewer certified coins offered to the collector and investor.
Obverse
The obverse design of the 2019 Australian Lunar Pig 1 oz Silver Coin features the right-profile portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The portrait was designed in 1998 by sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley. Other silver bullion coins issued by the Perth Mint in 2019 each feature the new effigy of Her Majesty, whereas the 1998 Ian Rank-Broadley design was used on the final Lunar Series II release in order to ensure continuity from the 2008 debut coins to these concluding issues.
Reverse
The reverse design of the 2019 Australian Lunar Pig 1 oz Silver Coin features the image of a sow and her four little piglets. The sow is shown standing in left-profile relief, while her piglets are shown around her feet. There is also a P mint mark from the Perth Mint on the reverse of the coin. The Chinese symbol for pig is also displayed on the reverse side of the coin.
Your 2019 Australian Lunar Pig 1 oz Silver Coin is secured in a protective plastic slab from the NGC. This will protect the coins condition.
